Our HOA Little Angels wrapped up 2024 on Saturday, December 28th. When asked for a recap of the year, Little Angels Chair, Annie LaCour, reported, “We collected a total of 629 bags of trash plus tires and construction debris in 2024. We have found money, tools, clothing, sunglasses, tire rims, and even a purse (which we handed over to the police department). We have collected as few as 31 bags and as many as 71 bags in our 2 hour clean up window. We have over 150 volunteers but typically have 20-30 come for the clean ups. We collect along 444 first then we branch out to side streets if we have extra people. I would estimate approximately 700+ man hours, as many of the volunteers do clean up independently of the scheduled Saturday clean ups that occur every 3-4 weeks. They also responded to an “emergency clean-up” I called because the trash was so bad. They are a very devoted group of volunteers!!”
In preparation for the year ahead, Annie indicated, “Our goal remains the same for 2025, keep our home looking beautiful! We meet every 3-4 weeks (we go to monthly during the hot summer months) and interested people can reach out to me at aalacour@gmail.com. There are TDOT and HOA paperwork requirements before someone can join the HOA Litter Angels.”
To participate in the next Little Angels pickup, plan to meet the team at Tugaloo Beach on Saturday, January 18th at 8:30am.
NOTE: There are TDOT & HOA paperwork requirements before individuals are allowed to join and participate in Litter Angels sponsored events.
